Ingredients:

1 ½ cups Arborio rice

4 cups vegetable broth

1 cup dry white wine

1 onion, chopped

3 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoons butter

1 pound assorted mushrooms (such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster), sliced

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

In a large saucepan, heat the vegetable broth over medium heat and keep it warm.

In another large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the onions and garlic. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.

Add the rice and stir constantly until coated with butter.

Stir in the white wine and cook until evaporated, about 2 minutes.

Add 1 cup of the warm broth and stir until absorbed, about 2 minutes.

Continue adding the broth, 1 cup at a time, and stirring until the liquid is absorbed before adding more. This process should take about 20 minutes.

In a separate pan, sauté the mushrooms over medium heat until they are browned and softened, about 5 minutes.

Once the rice is almost cooked, add the mushrooms and 1 cup of grated parmesan cheese.

Stir well and cook for additional 5 minutes, until the rice is al dente and the mushrooms are fully cooked. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Remove from heat and let it sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Garnish with extra grated parmesan cheese and fresh herbs if desired.
